Itty Bitty Double Extruder

At least you now have a backup RAMPS.

That is true! Been meaning to do that anyway.

i got the last of my parts ordered in preparation for the E3D double extruder :-D

A new motor did it for me...apparently it was defective..Printing calibration cube now....Also installed E3d hot end.

Awesome. Glad to hear it's working for you.

Motors came in today, just waiting on the hobbed bolt and i'll be ready for Testing :-)

Let me know if there's any way I can help.

Hi, I'm having an issue when it comes to the ABL. I've had it before (I used Zenmasters ABL when it came out) but the new probe for the IBDE catches on the glass and doesn't retract all the way.

Is there a way to have it lift before retracting?

Yes. There's a link to firmware in the first post of this thread, with a configuration.h file for the double extruder. You'll need to tune the Z offset, of course.

This is a fork of the beckdac fork of Marlin, with Roxy's enhancements, including lifting before retracting the probe. My fork just adds config files for my extruders.

That's what I'm using. It lifts before retracting when it does a homing routine, but when I run a g29 it doesn't lift to retract and ends up getting stuck. I set the firmware to lift it higher before each time the probe moves and that works up until the last probe. It gets stuck there.


Thank you for your help though. I really appreciate it.

EDIT: Well...I feel silly. I had the screws holding the end stop facing the hot end. I moved them to the other side and apparently that was what was causing it to bind.
